Class SmallMap

java.lang.Object
  java.util.AbstractMap
      org.biojava.utils.SmallMap

All Implemented Interfaces:

Map, Serializable

public class SmallMap

extends AbstractMap

implements Serializable

Lightweight implementation of Map which uses little memory to store a small number of mappings, at the expense of scalability. Not recommended for more than 20-30 mappings.

This implementation has the useful property that the iteration order is the same as the order in which mappings are added.
